Comment on My Car Broke Down (Again)! by girlnextdoorfinance

@FB: I’ve been planning on moving to a major city next summer (not sure which one yet) and getting rid of the car at that point, so really it breaking down just speeds up the process, I think! I’m actually really excited about not having it anymore. (:

@KarinsBuckaroo: Will do! Since I now live a 5 minute walk from work and school, even if I don’t feel like packing a lunch in the morning I can easily run home and get something just as quickly as I could go out to eat.

If you can get by without a car, do it. And stick to bring your lunch with you everyday to work/school, do it. Not having a car will help you save money for when you study abroad, plus you won’t have to wory about it while you are gone.

If the car is not necessary (like traveling 3 hours just to get somewhere and 3 hours back when you could cut it down to half an hour each way), then just save the cash and do without

I’d keep the insurance for the car rental though. Wish I had that. I have bare bones, $300/year coverage which doesn’t cover much except personal liability :P

Could you bring lunch instead of buying it out? I’ve been bringing lunch everyday and eat it at about 2 or 3pm because I work until 9pm. Its much better for me than what is available to purchase.

And what about riding a bike. Often secure bike parking is much, much closer our destination than car parking. You may find your total travel time via bike less. It certainly is here due to traffic.

My study abroad will be a 3-week winter term course, so there’s no need for me to move my accounts around. Everything will stay where it is right now.

Are you planning on just leaving your accounts there while you are studying abroad?
